It's A Beautiful Day!!

Yesterday, was a "10", the perfect day to do almost anything. Our choice, breakfast out, riding the bikes and chasing an Egret!! The sky was blue and the temperatures were cool. Fall is in the air and I could not be happier!! So here he is, my current best friend...

Meet Mr. Egret!! My newest obsession!!

I think he is regal and beautiful!!

Also know as a Great White Egret, it is easy to see why!!

They weigh in at about 2 pounds...

and have a wing span of 65 - 85 inches!!

They have a yellow beak and long black legs....

and black feet!!

A frog for lunch, he sure does know a "delicacy" when he sees it!!

This one is my favorite!! How about you guys, did you have a favorite??

You did get beautiful pictures. I am so glad you had such a awesome day.You said a skunk keeps spraying your house? That has to be the worse thing ever. Keep taking pictures I have always been intrigued by egrets too.

Amazingly beautiful photos! We have egrets near our place, but I've never gotten pictures nearly as nice as yours.We're in the Outer Banks this weekend, and rode by a cottage today with a sign "No Egrets" on the front. Your post made me think of that!

A most glorious series of photos! You captured this stunning bird beautifully. If I had to pick favorites ... the outstretched wing images are absolutely stunning. Terrific lighting. The day, egret, your photographs and this blog post are all a perfect 10!
